[Biggie?] Import from iframe works - simple 2 step trick

[Mat]

Ok, this might just be a pretty big deal for fetching plugins or bundles. I've only done some very quick tests but I'm so excited so I can't shut up:

Put a common iframe in a tiddler with the source set to your target TW. For example

<iframe src="http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/TiddlerSchools/" style="height:600px; width:600px;"/>

In viewmode you'll see - in this case - @Jeds "tiddler bundler" (initially called "schools"), but it could be e.g tiddlywiki.com or any other site.

Now, as you may know you cannot drag a tiddler/plugin/bundle out of an iframe and drop it straight into your TW, for browser security reasons.

...BUT...

apparently you CAN drag the tiddler/plugin/bundle to the browser bookmark field and drop it there... and drop that bookmark straight into your TW!!!!!

This was news to, at least, me.

P.S Things woudl be simplified if tiddlers had links with their own titles to be dragged, intead of locating a title link elsewhere for the tiddler. @Jeremy has mentioned introducing <$draggable> previously and make titles draggable. Would fit well here. Actually, can't one simply add a <a> around the title in the viewtemplate?

Wow, that's neat!

$:/ControlPanel, Settings tab, scroll down to "Tiddler Titles" and enable "Display tiddler titles as links".   Q.E.D.

Hehe, yes it did feel like there was something familiar about it. Thanks Eric.
